The Chinese company Vivo has officially announced the new Vivo X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+, three new smartphones that position themselves in the high-end and flagship segment. The devices boast excellent specifications, although they stand out, especially for their rear camera configuration in the Pro and Pro+ versions.
The Vivo X50 Pro and Pro+ have a curved finish on the sides of the screen, while the Vivo X50 has a completely flat front. This makes a considerable difference, as the screen edges are more apparent in Pro models. All three devices are built-in aluminum (chassis) and topped by a double glass layer, mounted on the front and rear.

Starting with the high-end Vivo X50, the smartphone comes with a flat 6.56-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display running at a resolution of 1080×2376 pixels with a 90Hz screen refresh rate. Under the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB UFS 2.1 storage options.
